People everywhere. Going every direction. I wonder where their going.
As I stand in this sea of humanity, I start to dig deeper.
Where are they from? Whats their story?
Are they Happy? Do they want to be here?
Are they rich or are they more like me? Who cares.
Life as we know it can be rough at times, but this is not one of them.
I'm told this is the happiest place on earth.
If so why are their so many crying children? Angry dads and annoyed mommies?
Vacations can do that to people.
The long lines and long waits. Not for me.
The rush of the rides and the happy children's themed experiences. I love this place.
The food? Too expensive but worth it after the first bite.
There is this man. I saw him earlier. Strolling about holding his hands behind his back.
Who is he? Is he a tourist? Park management? His suit is quite expensive.
He is just watching. Looking. Observing about. I wonder.
People watching....I'm consumed. Its kinda weird but its fun. There is so much going on.
The excitement.
The noise.
The transformation at night.
There is nothing in the world like Disneyland. How it separates us from reality and shows us whats possible.
Life as we know it can be rough at times....but not tonight.
Phil, I like your piece. It can be so entertaining to people watch. Your imagination runs wild thinking of all the possibilities that exist. I wonder through, how you could elaborate more, I am left curious about the man in the suit.
ReplyDeleteYour piece is intriguing. I love to watch people too. Your writing is very spontaneous and seems to be straight from your thoughts.
ReplyDeleteDo you use spell/grammar check? I reread your piece several times, on different days because I wasn't sure how I felt about it. I had trouble with some of your punctuation, or lack of punctuation. Was it intentional?
I, too, am a people watcher. I love long layovers at airports because I can spend my time watching.
ReplyDeleteYour writing is really good and, like your other pieces, I just think this needs to be tightened up. Sometimes I feel, as the reader, that I'm jumping from thought to thought. Can you make it flow? Using punctuation and spacing will help with that.
